De verwoestende aardbeving van februari 2023 in Turkije kostte ruim vijftigduizend mensen het leven en maakte miljoenen dakloos. Is het betonpuin dat achterbleef bruikbaar voor de wederopbouw? En hoe krijgen we dat voor elkaar? @DutchMFA @SultanCETINphd https://t.co/FekhoJua5M

Impressive research and relevant new tool by ⁦@ecfr⁩ on European Sovereignty. 🇳🇱 ranks 2nd with high marks on economy and health. Lower scores, also 🇪🇺 wide, on tech sovereignty underscore the importance of this policy area for upcoming years. https://t.co/tTzTkMawSc
